Mary Phelps Jacob created a backless bra with two handkerchiefs and a pink ribbon in 1914. A New York City socialite, Mary sold this design to Warner Brother's Corset Company.

The last state admitted to the United States wasn't Hawaii or Alaksa. It was Ohio.
When, in 1809, Ohio legislators were preparing to sign the documents of incorporation, there was a fire in the statehouse. By the time the confusion was settled, it was forgotten that the documents were never signed. Although several U.S. presidents were born there, and although the state seal proudly proclaims its incorporation date as 1809, the state of Ohio was officially admitted into the union in 1953.

I did not know that.
In the early 1900s, sweet tea was an item of luxury used as an exhibition of wealth due to the expensive nature of tea, ice, and sugar.[1][2] Ice was possibly the most valued of the ingredients since it had to be shipped from afar at a time when access to cool drinking water was already a relative luxury.[2] In modern times it can be made in large quantities quickly and inexpensively.[2]
The oldest known recipe for sweet iced tea was published in 1879 in a community cookbook called Housekeeping in Old Virginia by Marion Cabell Tyree, who was born in Texas.[1] The recipe called for green tea since most sweet tea consumed during this period was green tea.[1][2] However, during World War II, the major sources of green tea were cut off from the United States (due to anti-Japanese sentiment at the time), leaving them with tea almost exclusively from British-controlled India which produced black tea. Americans came out of the war drinking predominantly black tea.[9] Sweet tea was once consumed as a punch mixed with hard liquour with flavorings of mint and cream,[2] with mint julep being a close version of the punch drink with its similar ingredients.[5]

My grandmother said she was 12 years old before she ever saw ice. She said she knew what it was, just had never seen it.

Life was very hard down in south Forida in the 1880/90s/ No electricity, wood stoves, no ice, very little screening for the windows, snakes, gators , fever. I asked her when she was in her 80s what were the 3 biggest inventions she had seem in almost a 100 years.. She said. Asprin, you could break a fever with it 2 Man made Ice. and,, Mayonise. I said wth? Mayonise? Sure she said, When people learned to mix oil, eggs, and such together that started people to think about creating and cooking other things. She was an amazing person.
